Leonhard II

From Gineipaedia, the Legend of Galactic Heroes wiki

Leonhard II (Japanese: レオンハルト2世) was the 19th kaiser of the Galactic Empire.

He died in suspicious circumstances shortly after adopting his nephew, the future Friedrich III, as his son and heir, at the urging of the Kaiserin, Christine. Rumors of sexual liaisons between Christine and Friedrich III persisted. (Encyclopaedia Die Legende der Sternhelden, Legend of the Galactic Heroes Gaiden, The Chronicle of the Battle of Dagon)
